Statements "First Escape" 2019

Raul Sinz, winner "First Escape" 2019

It was a very fast race. Nobody could detach sprint squad. the final, It was a technical part with mud and there we made a difference. Being without risers, like a road race. It is a very important victory because it's a highly publicized race. It was my first participation in the "First Escape". I like to walk on mud. But I had mud tires. I had a few slides, but I checked and I have fallen. It was a special thing to me that I competed with a sport so great that Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja.

Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja (Ambassador Merida), winning "First Escape" 2019

It started the race with a frightening speed. Be careful. Ongoing, the front went away and found a good group that went to Check. The mud in the end was funny. You should use your skills, to be concentrated and to try to maintain balance and. The objective would be to come next year with the whole family in Transylvania Race Bike Trails. I would like to come back here. It is a race that I like, with fun. I enjoyed it. I am very happy that I was here. Thank you all!

Patrick Pescaru 17 year (NoMad Merida CST), Male category winner 15-19 year, place 7 the General

I started well in race, I always stayed in the top 5-10. With two kilometers before finally, Pole Dariusz Batek slipped a bit. Then they distanced themselves first two finishers in General. I got a flat track. I came right on the rim, but they have had two competitors. I am satisfied with the result. Who had more strength finally, a bit of luck and may well chosen tires won. There were no problems with the path. Most roads were paved, there were also loaded wheels mud. Organization, like always, Best.

Daniel Marius Roşioru (PlayBike), winner I "First Escapes", third consecutive victory in the category Male 30-39 de ani

"First Escape" is the competition reference in Romania. The organization enjoyed is the benchmark in our country.

Rod Esben (Euxin), category winner Male 50+

Working on the water transport Tulcea. I first came to this competition. For me it was very good. A beautiful race. I enjoyed it. I am very happy that I won. A very good organization. It was great that he was invited Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesja, "Regina mountain bike" site.

Alex Hammer (Wingman Giant)

The race is very spectacular. At her, meet two categories of athletes: some who do on such a path and fight to win and others who come for fun, fun, atmosphere and environment. With rain this year, emerged many technical areas route. It depends on many factors. You had to be technically, to choose the right tires, pressure them best, to know when to hold on to the net and when to shoot. That's why teams have mattered so much. The organization is always impeccable. It was a big plus bringing an athlete as high as Gunn-Rita. It's a very cool girl. I took it a long way. Clear is at another level. It can beat some routes with the best of our athletes. I do not think this is the route that would make the better qualities.

Dragos Bucurenci (communication consultant and trainer), place 221 the General, the second time the "First Escape"

The route I found it easier than now 2 year. Then I guess we walk 20% from him. Now it was up 500 the metri. I really liked. A combination of mud and pleasure pedaling. Clear gonna come. Organization - impeccable and we appreciated this year the presence of those who encouraged us on the road, which are very important. People who have applauded, who beat the drums. In addition there are many competitions and counts more than isotonic drinks. Congratulations! It seems to me to organize something impesionant. It is very good to have the combination of elite and amateur athletes because such are an inspiration and a reason for those who have this hobby to come.

Daniel Georgescu (TVR producer), place 276 the General, the eighth time the "First Escape"

It was fun, very nice. Even the last piece of dirt I can not say that scared me. Mud tires make a difference on such a route. People really seemed to have fun. Everyone seemed to like. I go to many competitions in the country, but the "First Escape" is the best organization, the best atmosphere to Start, finishers and even raise participation kits. It was great to be on the same route with the most titled MTB's sports history.
